Famous Christians: You don’t stand alone!

Standing in life, knowing that God is there beside you, always with you, is something we can never truly comprehend; God created us so that he could have a relationship with us. God is there for you. As it says in Psalm 46, ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.’

‘For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.’

– Romans 3:23-24

The extremely simplified diagram above briefly sums up the relationship between us and God explained here by Paul in Romans chapter 3.

However, today I am not here to talk to you about how ‘You are not alone’ , I’m talking about the millions of Christians around the world who have faith in exactly the same God as you, in particular, the famous ones. I have compiled a list of some celebrities whose faith in Jesus Christ has brought them to where they are today.

• Nick Vujicic

Born in 1982, he is an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with Phocomelia, an extremely rare disorder characterised with a lack of arms and legs. However Nick hasn’t let this stop him, he got married in 2012 and has had 2 children since. He urges people who the way to find hope even in the hardest of situations, such as his own is not to just stay positive, but to find strength in a personal relationship with God.

He once said, “If God can use a man without arms and legs to be his hands and feet, then he can certainly use any willing heart!”

Jesus ‘not a real person’ many believe

A recent survey which was run by The Church of England and Evangelical Alliance made some remarkable finding which I thought I would share with you today. I will also offer you the opportunity to think about your about your own views on the topics covered and your answers to some questions covered.

“What do English adults know and believe about Jesus Christ? What do they really think about his followers? How often—if ever—talk about their faith in Jesus? How do both Christians and non-Christians feel about those conversations?”

The survey suggests that forty percent of people in England do not believe Jesus was a real person. However, 43% of the people asked said they did believe in the resurrection, but did not think it happened as described in the Bible. To here some of the finding from the executive summary of the investigation click ‘Continue Reading’…

Is God a male or female?

On the 2nd of June this year, an article was uploaded to the BBC which looks at the gender of God. In this post we will be analysing the article and giving you extra information on the topic, to allow you to make your own mine up about the issue.
